I can’t see a Korean Geobukseon, or Turtle ship, without thinking of the many hours I’ve spent playing Age of Empires II. Alex Jones’ (Orion Pax) armored battleship is a superb model of this beautiful style of Asian shipbuilding which LEGO builders rarely cover.

Physicists have found that the certain atoms have pear-shaped nuclei
at their centers, and it may be a good place to look for new types of
physics:

The findings could help scientists search for physics beyond the Standard
Model, said Witold Nazarewicz, a theoretical nuclear physicist at the
University of Tennessee-Knoxville and Oak Ridge National Laboratory,
who was not involved in the study.

Specifically, the pear-shaped nucleus could provide a good place to
search for an electric dipole moment, or an asymmetrical distribution
of positive and negative charge inside neutrons. An electric dipole
moment would provide a way to test extension theories to the Standard
Model, such as supersymmetry, which could help explain why there is
more matter than antimatter in the universe.

"There are strong theoretical suggestions that in nuclei that
have those pearlike shapes, that this electric dipole moment can be
very large," Nazarewicz told LiveScience. "These systems are
very good hunting grounds for future searches for this dipole moment."
